For 50 years, Pacific Primary has been a beloved school community for thousands of children and families. It is a place where children learn to solve problems, embrace diversity, and become confident, creative learners; parents feel supported in joyfully and effectively nurturing their child’s development; and all families are welcomed and encouraged to participate actively in the school community.
Pacific Primary is a non-profit organization and donations are crucial for our financial stability. Tuition makes up approximately 86% of our operating budget and fundraising is essential to provide the flexible, unrestricted support to ensure we continue to fulfill our mission.
At Pacific Primary, we transcend the traditional notion of a school; we are a tightly-knit and inclusive community, where parents, board members, friends, and alumni families unite to contribute their time, talents, and financial resources to support the school. Central to this unity is giving back, where every individual’s contribution, regardless of size, holds significance and garners heartfelt appreciation.
As we celebrate the school’s 50th anniversary we are excited to announce an ambitious fundraising goal of raising $695,000 this year. We plan to achieve this goal through several fundraising initiatives designed to raise funds and build and celebrate our community, aligning with our values and mission.
